Yes, Rosalind . As I said again and again : get tested, if you test negative, get vaccinated.
YES I GOT TESTED. I TESTED NEGATIVE. YES I GOT VACCINATED. This is well documented on this very Forum :

For by god, I am at my wits end : HPV causes cervical cancer. It also causes genital warts. There are I don't know how many strains of HPV. The vaccines do not protect you from all the strains, but do protect you from the most virulent, most prevalent strains, therefore providing you with more protection than having no vaccination. It is recommended to prepubescent girls and boys because ideally it would be administered before any sexual activity (and chance of infection) occurs. However, that does not mean that it is ineffective in adults. Get tested. If tests negative, get vaccinated.
Now
, onto men. HPV is becoming the leading cause of mouth/throat cancer in men. If the woman has not been vaccinated, she may be infected and be a virulent source of Human Papilloma Virus infection to whomever performs oral sex on her. If she HAS been vaccinated, there is still a minuscule possibility that she may have this virus on her skin from a very recent previous encounter and transfer it to her next partner.
" I have considered having the vaccine, but at @ £500 for something which may not take I'd rather have a holiday."
-- this statement to me is shocking. You know what, I would rather (and I have !!!) spent 1500e on my screens and vaccinations
[just last year] than put my own health at such risk. If something is medically preventable, I will always be the first to opt for it.
We differ.
Why are ya'all so reluctant re vaccinations ? It's modern medicine.
